Planting Barley BEGINS! | Planting 2023 | Farming in Australia | Vlog 165 

She’s been breathing heavy for a while now, it was meant to be on light semi retired duties😳 rogator will be back soon 👍

I could smell the horsepower from here.

I send a picture from the 4km field drone shot to my best friend. We talked about it recently. I told him that I wished that I had a bigger garden. (it is 10 by 10 meter) He said to me, well it is bigger than my patio. And then I replied to him, this farmer family in Australia have a single field that is 4km long!!😱 I wanted to make sure that he is aware that his patio is not the standard. 🤣

Thanks! It’s pretty dry here now🙏

Just means we are oiling all of the cylinder😂😂 there will be a few decisions to be made 👍

Tractor, harvester operator job provide in your country

Hello There

Haha😂 the engine is done apparently but waiting on injectors👍

Cheers mate, my back does make similar sounds sometimes🤣

Hi mate, we get about 22inch annual rainfall👍😁

There is moisture down about 2 inches so we are sowing into that, it won’t need more rain to come up but it would be nice!😁

Just making sure the whole cylinder is getting oiled👍😂

@@thejacksonbrothers breathing heavy is better than not breathing lol

A lot😂That’s why we use the Steiger in the bad rocks where it’s organic😁

Pity Britain doesn’t make anything of use to Australia anymore. But at least you continually buy Aussie food products since brexit!

12m is a common size here, with contours etc bigger can be tricky, we don’t struggle to get everything sown in time so it’s a good size for us👍😁

It’s a bit of that but also for efficiency and avoiding mistakes it’s easier if someone is doing the same job👍

Not currently but we have been looking into it👍

Hi! There are benefits to both, it’s great being able to see the whole bar while working and not having all the load go through the aircart frame. Some like having it in front so the aircart isn’t driving over what’s been sown👍

Most of the newer tractors use weights instead of putting water in the tyres, a lot of old tractors still use water👍

Hi , we don’t have any irrigated paddocks👍😁

Hi Alan, it hopefully will yield about 2 ton to the acre in a reasonable year👍

We only rely on rain to water the crops👍

With fluid in the tyres you lose a bit of bulge in them which increases compaction, also better for driving down the road👍

Rims also rust n its a pain to fix a leak with water lol.

Hi mate, It was mainly gramoxone to burn of any surviving weeds from the previous spray👍😁

Good question

Probably a temp inversion.

Hi Paul, if the smoke is hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion so if you spray the chemical can get caught in one and wipe out a crop many kms away👍

@@thejacksonbrothers Every day is a school day! Thanks for the education. I (non-farmer) would have told you that smoke hanging around meant little or no wind, so ideal spraying conditions! 🙂

@@paulryan522 I should of explained it more in the video but you always want some wind while spraying👍

I’m not sure, I’d have to check👍

@@thejacksonbrothers just wondering if it’s as old as me 64 and that’s the year I was born not my age 😅👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

No, they are all mine! 😂😂

If it’s hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion so have to be careful not to get chemical caught in the layer of air and then it drift onto someone else’s paddocks👍

Hi Keith, if there is smoke hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion meaning if we spray the chemical can get caught up in that layer and wipe out a crop many klms away😁

An inversion layer forms when cold air forms a layer above a warm layer on the ground, when spraying it traps chemical between the warm layer and the cold layer on top. Under these conditions the warm air rises and the cold air pushes it along. Cold air moves downhill and follows the contours. This area is very flat with some fields less than 1% slope. The chemical can travel many kilometres. This issue was identified in the early 1980’s when glyphosate stunted large areas of crops some 14 kilometres away from the recognised point of origin. Some farmers and agricultural aircraft drop smoke canisters to identify these inversion layers before spraying. It can get very expensive if your negligence causes damage to a neighbours crops.

That’s plan c👍

Been a beautiful machine with excellent backup service👍

@@thejacksonbrothers don't think the backup would be quite so good over here in WA 🤣 but good to know

@@trout3540 😂😂

Hi mate, we are in NSW so a bit far away from WA👍😁 all the best

@@thejacksonbrothers honestly I don't really mind as I'm currently just figuring out my plans, starting in NSW-spring also sounds great! So my offer is still standing as long I can start Nov/Dec 😁 Thx man

Takes alot to hurt those tyres! Less pressure is more traction and more floatation to help with compaction issues! Can't grow clean crops in rock hard country 20psi is usually the norm if not abit less with water in them aswell!

@@samsymes475 cheers, was interested to see the tyres still have water in them !! to about top rim ?

"IF" tires
